Oral aversions

My daughter is primarily G-tube fed but she was also bottle fed since I had trouble producing breast milk. We were fine this routine where she take some formula by mouth and whatever she couldn’t take by mouth, she gets through her tube.
However, at about 3-4 months she started refusing the bottle and kept tongue thrusting whenever we tried to bottle feed her. We were told she has severe acid reflux and also sees a GI specialist, a SLP and physical therapist and nothing is working. Her feed currently runs over 90mins and I find myself stuck at home and cannot get out since she’s mostly feeding for the longest.
At some point she started projectile vomiting after every meal which can be 5-6 times a day. This was super frustrating, stressful and exhausting for all of us.
Now she’s 10 months adjusted and still has refused to take the bottle or have anything in her mouth except water. She would put toys and everything else in her mouth except food.
I have tried different types of purées, fruits, snacks and my daughter would become visibly upset or gag, once I set her up in her high chair or place a plate in front of her. Last night I brushed a spoon of yoghurt across her lips and she gagged and vomited all her food.
Any other moms dealing with this or has an idea of how to get my LO to begin to eat. I don’t think her doctors are really helpful because she’s almost a year old and they have not being able to help us. This momma right here is tired and needs help.

Is it normal to hate your MIL

Is it normal to both get on with your MIL yet also hate her because she gets herself too involved and makes herself too at home in our own home?!

Useless partner.. what do I do at this point!🫩

So in my whole pregnancy my partner wasn’t supportive, useless and basically neglected me. It’s got WORSE post partum.. how is this possible?? He helped the first week or so but ever since He hasn’t looked after me at all, left me to do everything as per like all the house work, nappy changes bottles I have to wake him up to help and then he falls back to sleep snd ignores me. When he does do something it takes hours for one little task,
all he tells me is how tired he is

I had stitches down there so I can’t lift anything for 6 weeks either, the house is becoming messy because he won’t help run the hoover over aswell or move heavy things etc Everything’s “I’ll do it in a minute “ I’m being called everything under the sun when I call him out on his behavior and then he just constantly walks out because he can’t handle it.. even in general he’s in the toliet for over half an hour or he’s outside vaping. I can’t back being with an immature guy anymore.. I’ve spoken to him a million times nothing changes, I also have all the financial responsibility as he has no money atm cos he was off work on paternity, I’m so sick of arguing I have tried to end the relationship every single day and it’s like he won’t let me!! I feel like a single mum
What do I do! Thoughts?

Problems with husband

I’m feeling so distant from him………he seems always upset at me. Tries to push for sec all the time. Even after my clearance from the doctor it was still uncomfortable and he thought I was just making it up. Literally talks to me like I’m a piece of shit. He’s got so many girls in things shaking their asses on his instagram and I can’t have any guys on mine. I’m not the girl who has people he’s uncomfortable with on any social media. I’ve always respected his wishes. I try to get as much as I can done in the house and it’s never good enough. There’s so much more too. My stress is on maximum with him and I’m just not happy anymore!
Sorry for the rant! I just don’t know what to do?

Just need to vent i wanna cry

Hi ladies. I really want to say something to someone but not sure who to talk to. Long story short, my husband works 2hrs away from home, and he is doing good there so we’re moving closer to his job. That means we have to sell our beautiful home and move into a smaller apartment in NY. I am so sad but I don’t want to tell him. He is so excited he won’t have such a grueling commute and he will also have more time to spend with our son and me. I know its whats best for our family, but I am so sad to leave NJ. I love it here. We have our own home, I loved my job, we had a yard our son could play and we could entertain. Now we’re losing that, and Im getting sad 😔. I don’t want to tell my husband because I don’t want him to feel bad or anything, as this is a good thing for him, and our family in the long run. Opinions welcome but I just really kind of needed to tell someone else, I guess 😭

I feel like the tablet is hindering my sons speech...

We let him watch it all day when he doesnt have school. Monday through Friday he watches it after school all day after school. I guess I dont know how to be there for him. The toys I do have for him he doesnt want to play with them when its just me and him. He does play with his toys when its him and his dad. But he knows or always wants me to turn on the tv or give him his tablet. Idk how to be there for my son... any help?

Would you find that weird?

So I was telling my older sister that my friend is talking to my husbands brother and my sister was like “oh yeah they both look alike and they’re both good looking ”.

Meaning my husband and his brother are both attractive. Why did she need to mention my husband?
